The United States for 60 years has met its responsibilities as the leader and the defender of the democracies of the free world. We have policed the sea lanes, protected the air and space domains, countered terrorism, responded to genocide, and been the bulwark against rogue states engaging in aggression. The world now senses, in the context of the erosion of America's economic power and the pressures of our budget deficits, that we will compress our commitments. But the world needs the vision, idealism, and strong leadership that America brings to international affairs. This can be done and must be done. But we are the only ones who can do it.

President Obama acts in a way that does not respect the plight of all low income Americans at home in the USA as he openly supports unions that represent only a small fraction of the population rather than more importantly all salaries workers. Instead of supporting unions why not simply increase the minimun wage for all Americans and in turn promote increase wages up the line for all salaried workers, and promote policies that help employers grow and prosper to fund these higher salaries.

For example ensure that minimum wages for a husband and wife who work 40 hours per week pays them an income above the poverty line that allows them to live with dignity, allows them to be proud and pay their own way, not have them subsidized and dependant on Government and handouts!! The current minimum wage is simply outdated and the reason more Americans do not earn above the poverty rate!! As well these earners spend all they earn and it rolls right back into the economy!!
